Hello their

I just thought its about time I gave you all an update on my progress.

Ok since I last posted I can walk about 50-200m depending on how my body feels, and the night before [depending if my g/f kept me up

]

I just been upto London to see a surgeon about my arm, but its the end of the finanical year so he said he cant.

So going to America in April to have an Operation but have to pay for it

Ive raised 10,000 GPB in a day a lovely bloke and his business partner who I was chatting up offer me the money their and then

But Ive ad quotes of 60,000k to 110,00k

DAMN

Anyway ill say ta ta for now if anyone has any ideas let me know exept selling my body because I think my girl will be a bit pissed.

Bye

Good Luck in your operation

How much money do you need for it?

Not sure as I cant get medical insurance now, but I've had quotes between 60k upto 150k, 200k MAX.

Because theirs so much damage, bracial plexus, dislocated/shattered shoulder[possibly]. Elbow shattered aswell. doh.

The bulk of the cost is operation, bed cost, and the drugs.
Because you have to pay for everything...

Good luck in raising the money

SWB Members and User - We should do some fund raising to help raise the money for Jon's operations. Please post some ideas

Thank you, well I got to mid April to get some more money to put towards the op.

Oh hows your brothers arm?

He shouldn't have to raise any money because it should be done on the NHS. You can bet that if he was from else where it would be

I expect his family have been paying NI for years and now he needs the NHS they won't help

Sorry, it just makes me angry.

Anyway good luck with everything and hope you're all sorted soon.

Its too much money for most individuals on the site to make even a tiny dent, so a suggestion would be for all us SWB members to embarass the NHS into making treatment available and we can start by writing to our mp.

If you need any expert physiotherapy or rehabilitation let me know. NHS can be the 'No Frills' way of getting better in some cases.

I'm a qualified personal trainer and have some buddies that are physio's that could help you out. Good luck with the money, dude.
